Could I run this wire under the house in conduit to a box outside the house and then use underground approved wire the 10' to the shop? Thanks! Dave

Yes, 3 in the jacket and 1 t1e wrapped to the jacket. I have some 3AWG4 that is basically the same except it has WET on it. No external wires. Thanks for the replies so far! Dave

Here is a pic of the wire. 3 conductor with an external ground. I think I can run this wire in 2in conduit and use a 70 or 80 amp breaker and be fine. That would make it under the 90 amp rating and it would be protected in the conduit. The underground run is only about 10'. Any major problems...

Copper. (UL) E69070 4AWG/3 STO 105C VW-1 Type TC 600V90C Dry Oil resT Chugoku 3 insulated wires in an insulated cover with a yellow and green external ground wire. Really pretty stuff! The wires are as fine as hair. It bends like a limp weenie!:) Dave

I'm running some wire to power my shop from the house. The run will be about 95ft. and go under the house. I 'acquired' some 4AWG3 and some 6AWG4 that was being disposed of and thought one or the other would work. The shop will have a too small compressor, a Lincoln 5000 Mig, a Lincoln 225...
